Here are more remedies I found posted on-line.
I have not tried any of the ones below.
Be certain to do your own research before using.
1) Make an infusion of 1 ounce each of fresh or dried rosemary and sage in
2 cups of water. Let steep for 24 hours, then use daily as a hair rinse.
2) Boil 5 heaping tbsps dried thyme in 2 cups water for 10 minutes. Strain
and cool. Pour 1/2 mixture over clean, damp hair. Massage into scalp, do not
rinse. Use second half of solution another day.
3) Instead of shampooing, massage handfuls of baking soda into the hair and
scalp to absorb oil and to loosen dead skin on scalp. Rinse thoroughly,
use no other shampoos. While initially the hair may seem dry, after several
weeks, dandruff will be gone and hair will be smooth and shiny.
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 handful of fresh mint leaves
Strain and pour into a container. With fingertips, massage solution into the
scalp, let dry without rinsing out.
5) Soothing Herbal Hair Rinse
Combine equal parts of dried rosemary, comfrey, witch hazel leaves and nettles
to make about 1/2 cup. Add to 2 cups of water in a covered pot. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and let steep overnight. Strain. Shampoo and rinse hair then
use herb tea for a final rinse to relieve itchy, flaky scalp.
Essential oils can be used in a base of distilled water to
provide a hair tonic for various uses. Here is a tonic that
will help control dandruff if used several times a week.
1 1/2 cups distilled water (or rosewater)
Witch hazel (available at most drugstores)
3 teaspoons of cider vinegar
Mix the water, 1/4 cup of the witch hazel, the cider
vinegar, six drops each of the lavender and rosemary oils,
and three drops of the tea tree oil in a glass bottle.
Shake this well and apply it to your wet or dry hair
several times a week. Massage the tonic into your scalp.
You do not have to rinse your hair afterward.
